Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 1608

After Calvin and Belle left, Raeleigh put her luggage aside and went outside to have a look. She first gathered the servants; she wasn't surprised to learn there were dozens of them in Fragrance Garden. She knew full well what kind of family the Harvey were; it wouldn't surprise her even if a few hundred servants were in a residency.

The individual rooms aside, the garden outside alone already needed a handful of people to manage, so the number of servants present was reasonable.

Standing in the courtyard, Raeleigh studied the servants and inquired about their jobs in the residency before she picked a few of them by instinct and assigned the others elsewhere.

Then she instructed them to get some rooms ready; one for Xanthus, another for Louisa and Colston, while she would be staying in the room right next to Santiago's.

Raeleigh didn't have the intention of making any explanation to anyone. Since she had moved in, the decisions were in her hands.

When everything was ready, Raeleigh went to the manor's gates; Colston and Louisa had arrived just then.

Raeleigh led them straight to Fragrance Garden; she didn't need to tell Calvin anything in advance.

Belle was still a little worried. Not because of Santiago's condition, as the doctors had already said nothing would change for the time being.

But that of Raeleigh's pregnancy. She couldn't sit back and do nothing.

After taking care of Paige, Belle said, "Mom, I'm going to visit Santiago."

Paige blinked; she did not even have the strength to raise her hand, but her expression suggested that she should go.

Belle glanced at her husband and father-in-law. She was still giving Calvin the silent treatment as this was the most upsetting decision he had made since she knew him; she wasn't just mad but infuriated.

He was getting on in years and wouldn't listen to her anymore. If it were a decade ago, Belle would've run away from home.

Belle went to Hudson's side and said, "Take a rest first. I'm going out for a while."

No one told Hudson and Paige Raeleigh had moved into Fragrance Garden.

All in all, it was because they were worried Paige would be upset, leading her condition to worsen if she found out.

After leaving Ink Garden, Belle went straight to Fragrance Garden. She thought it was odd when she saw two servants standing at the front door as anyone could come and go as they wish, or at least no one would be at the door.

Belle couldn't wrap her head around it.

"Madam Belle." Seeing Belle approaching, the two servants at the door greeted her. Belle asked, "Did Raeleigh ask you to wait for me here?"

"No, Miss Raeleigh asked us to guard the door and not let anyone in."

"Everyone?" Belle thought Raeleigh must have her reason, so she didn't ask why.

"Only you, Master Calvin, and Mr. Jepherson can come as you please. We will have to inform Miss Raeleigh if anyone else visits."

"Is that so?"

Belle thought that it was thoughtful, but the unwelcome guests would've already been stopped at the gates of the manor, so what was Raeleigh's purpose? Who was she trying to ward off?

Belle was about to go inside when Xanthus brought a few people in. They were strangers in work overalls.

"Who are they?"

"I've hired them to set up some surveillance cameras," Xanthus said.

He only saw Belle when he came in; she was also a little surprised as she looked up around her house. There had been surveillance in the house before, but Calvin got rid of them as he didn't like that they hindered their intimate moments. Therefore, there was only one by the front door.

"Did Raeleigh arrange for this?" Belle asked. She didn't find it strange as it wouldn't harm to have them installed anyway.

"Yes." Xanthus did not explain, nor did he think it was necessary.
